Serviio

I want to watch some content from the daily show and tried the following simple plugin. I don't see any items listed on my TV. am I missing something? Thanks for any help.

import org.serviio.library.metadata.*

/**

class ComedyCentralExctractor extends FeedItemUrlExtractor {

String getExtractorName() {
return getClass().getName()
}

boolean extractorMatches(URL feedUrl) {
return feedUrl == 'http://www.comedycentral.com/rss/tdsvideos.jhtml'
}

ContentURLContainer extractUrl(Map links, PreferredQuality requestedQuality) {
def contentUrl = 'http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:episode:thedailyshow.com:403447'
return new ContentURLContainer(contentUrl: contentUrl)
}

}

I turned on DEBUG and this is the error I get. Anyone know what this means?

Read the guide in sticky.

Your ContentUrl must be a playable file, which your groovy needs to find within the link being passed to it.

Look at some of the other groovys and add the test code at the bottom to yours and test until it returns a valid ContentUrl

With WireShark I found these packets, it seems you have to provide a particular Http Get message.
You'll receive multiple rtmpe url.
Look at Youtube.groovy plugin, that should help you.

So I tried returning:

rtmpe://viacomccstrmfs.fplive.net/viaco ... 2_1720.mp4

as the content URL and I received the following error. Has anyone been able to make rtmp feeds work?

if you run



you can see it doesn't return any metadata, because libRTMP doesn't know the encoding method. Nothing we can do now. Or maybe you have some attributes missing, like swfurl. Did you try the rtmpserv mehod linked in the plugins dev guide?

I would like to know where the "index is out of range 0..-1 (index = 0)" error is coming from as I'm getting the same error.

might be accessing results of unmatched reguar expesion, or any other array or collection really

Thank you. It seems to be caused by the thumbnail URL (or rather the array access after the thumbnail regex) of the LiveFeeds Plugin which I was not specifying. The range "0..-1" is still confusing me, though.
